Always
our favorite boiler, the vertical fire tube
boiler has many advantages; most importantly
as a constant and plentiful source of
steam. Our VFT boilers are designed to
have a low center of gravity and are superior
to many horizontal water tube boilers in this
respect. VFT boilers are well suited to
traditional narrow steamboat hulls.

tube Boilers

A wide selection of water tube boilers,
all with double rows of tubes, are
available. Not only have these boilers
been well proven over the past two decades of
hobby operation, but the influence of the local
(Rhode Island) ALMY Boilers can be seen.
